What this bill does
H.R. 10264, the American Made Federal Uniforms and Apparel Act of 2026, would amend federal procurement law to require that clothing and textile items purchased by executive branch agencies—including uniforms, outerwear, footwear, insignia, and related fabrics such as cotton, wool, and synthetic materials—be grown, reprocessed, or produced entirely in the United States. This requirement would apply broadly, covering direct purchases, leased or rented items, items furnished through service contracts (such as laundry or uniform-management contracts), and commercial products. Exceptions exist for cases where suitable domestic items are unavailable, for procurements abroad during emergencies or contingency operations, for small purchases below a set threshold, and for items resold in gift shops or similar outlets. The bill also preserves stricter existing rules, such as the Berry Amendment for defense purchases.
The bill primarily affects federal agencies that purchase uniforms and apparel, government contractors and suppliers of clothing and textiles, and businesses involved in domestic and foreign textile production. It also involves the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled and the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council, which would issue implementing regulations and a standard contract clause. Agencies would need to update procurement guidance, and the General Services Administration would report periodically to Congress on compliance and implementation.
The bill was introduced on September 3, 2026, by Rep. Clay Fuller and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. It has not yet been voted on, and further committee action or floor consideration would be required before it could become law. If enacted, its provisions would take effect 180 days after enactment.
